Intro: Gm Eb F (x2)

Verse 1:
Gm                            Eb             F
I was a kid looking for love, full of hope inside
    Gm                            Eb                 F
But time was never kind to me, my heart grew cold as ice
Gm                                     Eb              F
All out of luck, thought I was stuck, alone for all my life
    Gm                            Eb               F
But I was proven wrong the moment I looked in your eyes

It's true, until I'm in the grave

For a thousand years, dear
Gm                                 Bb         F
Time is nothing when I'm here with you, oh-oh-ooh
(nc)   Eb                  Gm                            Bb         F
All my fears, tears, those memories, they disappear with you, oh-oh-ooh
       Eb                   Gm                  Bb
'Til I turn into dust, I'll carry this love, my dear

Verse 2:
Gm                                   Eb           F
Saw very soon, something will bloom, like a lotus flower
    Gm                               Eb             F
The bluest moon will soon be sun and turn to golden hour
Gm                                 Eb              F
Hours and days, lost in your gaze, losing track of time
Gm                              Eb           F
Learning how to slow it down, appreciate our lives

Set it all on fire, let it burn up brighter

Love is a flame, and it's dancing away, to David playing on a lyre
